A Marvelous Mess!!

I hope all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a very happy one!

Mine was fun and busy though I had a bad ear infection that has lasted through the weekend.....so, that wasn't so cool. Losing the hearing in one ear has made me so much more understanding of the frustration those with hearing loss feel on a daily basis. I don't quite feel like I can participate in every conversation because I'm unsure of what everyone has said and of what I should say..... and especially I am unsure of how LOUD I am saying things. Luckily, I've been told that I'm whispering... which is a lot better than unintentionally shouting at everyone. :-)

Before the party starts, I've got a new tutorial for you:

Very simple glitter on the inside ornaments for your Christmas tree. 

Here is what you need:

Clear ornament (plastic or glass will work, plastic is much safer)

Pledge Floor Finish

Glitter (fine is better)

~Take the top off the ornament

~Put some pledge finish inside it and swirl it around making sure to coat the entire inside. Empty the rest out.

~Quickly, pour some glitter inside the ornament and roll it around, covering the insider with glitter. Fine glitter coats better that thicker glitter as you can see:

But, they all look beautiful!

Just replace the cap and it should dry within minutes!

Icon Wall Stickers: Easy Decorations

I received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own and written in my own words. :-)

There is a school not far from where I live that has recently established a Residential dorm. Students from all over the world have been accepted at this school and now call this school home! When I was given the chance to review a product from Icon Wall Stickers I thought to myself.... my walls are full, but I bet I could find something the new dorm could use! And, I was right. See that world map on the wall behind the couch in the photo?

It's the same as this one, here:

Perfect for the dorm!

I did a lot of shopping at Icon Wall Stickers, trying to find just the right decoration for the dorm. There were plenty of options. If I had the room on my walls, I would have had a wonderful time shopping for wall stickers. Like these:

I couldn't resist this Boston!!!!!

Aren't good at taking care of plants? Well, just put some pretend ones around. 

Or, how about something seasonal?

Any way you go about it, these stickers make decorating your walls very easy. And, it comes right off easily when you are ready for something different. I like the modern style of it and I love how simple it all is. You get a package in the mail with the sticker sandwiched between a piece of sticky vinyl and a piece of wax paper. You peel off the wax paper and gently set the sticker (still attached to the clear vinyl) onto the wall... I found placing the middle against the wall and pushing the rest to the wall working from the middle to the sides worked well. It can be a little bit of a process if there are lots of teeny pieces involved on the sticker... for instance, there are lots of small islands on a world map..... so it took a little more time that a different sticker might. Once the whole sticker is on the wall, gently pull away the clear vinyl; the sticker will stay on the wall! 

I definitely recommend you shop at Icon Wall Stickers!
